Romance in the modern world!

Senator Cory Booker asked Mindy Kaling out on a date via Twitter after the actress poked fun at him on a recent episode of her Hulu series The Mindy Project. In the scene, her character is surprised to learn the New Jersey politician attended a friend's event. "Cory Booker? I can't believe he came. I guess anything to get out of Newark, huh?" she quipped.

Booker took that as an opportunity to strike up an online flirtation!

"Ouch! @mindyKaling heard Dr. Lahiri dissed Newark last night... (I still ❤️U!)," he tweeted. "Senator, if Mindy Lahiri shades it, it means we know it's cool. Thanks for the ❤. It's mutual!" the TV star wrote back.

"You are making my day! Thanks for the clarification. And If the ❤️is really mutual … Come have dinner with me in Newark? #PleaseSayYes," Booker responded, and the funny lady accepted! "@CoryBooker yes. Now let me get the PATH train schedule," she said.

Can you imagine if they got married?! What a cute story!
